Welcome to Rootschat, Sarah. I've removed your post from the church links thread (for sources rather than queries) and moved it on it's own thread so others will see it.
You haven't given us any idea of dates but it can be difficult to find 'recent' information online.
You can post details of living people here but can you give us an idea of when your grandfather was born so we can suggest where to look for information.

sorry, nothing for parents but if you think its the right one then you could apply for the marriage certificate and it would give you the father's names.
